This paper argues for analyses of the changing conditions of collective action on the international stage using the method of incorporating comparisons. Third World revolutions, national liberation movements, and related peasant-urban revolts of the 1950s and 1960s took place in a context shaped decisively by emerging states, developmental projects, and international sponsorship and control. Si...

/^\N the dreaded subject of cancer popular lectures till very lately have been deemed unfit for the laity even by many medical men who know the need for encouraging the public to seek advice in time when any, even benign, tumour fails to disperse naturally. Special interest therefore attaches to the Health Week just concluded at StPancras under the initiative of the acting Medical Officer of He...

The aim of this article is to explore some critical moments in the formation of ‘popular’ culture studies. This objective is not exhaustive, cannot be exhaustive in the space of a single article, since popular cultural studies have grown into an academic industry which not even five live-times of academic work by any individual can exhaust! This article is therefore, a rapid but hopefully, prov...

Major Edward Stuart of the Rockfeller Commission for the prevention of tuberculosis in France, writes an instructive article on this subject in the International Journal of Public Health for March-April, 1921. He is dealing with the conditions prevailing in Servia, Slovakia and Roumania, which are in many respects similar to those found in India, With reference to the teaching of children he sa...

Since the high bandwidth and popular usage are the characteristics of cable network, it becomes one of the main solutions for residential network. The cable network is a kind of asymmetric bandwidth architecture, which generates certain performance issues. This article first discusses the issues stemmed from asymmetric bandwidth. It then briefly introduces Data over Cable Service Interface Spec...

P2P content distribution networks have become extremely popular on the Internet. Due to their self-organization properties, they suffer from the lack of control to balance the load among peers for contents of different popularity. In this paper, we define and analyze a fully decentralized architecture to support replication of popular media content in a peer-to-peer network. We show that by exp...

As embedded control systems are becoming more complex, there is a need for new software development and structuring techniques. The combination Simulink/Stateflow has become a popular tool for model-based design for this type of hybrid systems, due to the simulation and analysis tools available. To enable design and validation of large complex systems in Simulink/Stateflow, an appropriate model...

The AMBA AHB has been popular bus architecture so far due to its simple architecture. Complex system-on-chips (SoCs) with multiple masters usually employ bus architecture with multiple layers or multiple channels because they require large bandwidth. We construct four systems with different bus configuration to analyze and compare the performance of shared buses and on-chip-network with multipl...

Widespread availability of location aware devices (such as GPS receivers) promotes capture of detailed movement trajectories of people, animals, vehicles and other moving objects. We investigate spatio-temporal movement patterns in large tracking data sets, i.e. in large sets of polygonal paths. Specifically, we study so-called ‘popular places’, that is, regions that are visited by many entitie...

We study the problem of matching applicants to jobs under one-sided preferences; that is, each applicant ranks a non-empty subset of jobs under an order of preference, possibly involving ties. A matching M is said to be more popular than T if the applicants that prefer M to T outnumber those that prefer T to M . A matching is said to be popular if there is no matching more popular than it. Equi...
